I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life. Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Causality and the principle of sufficient reason, to mention some, are accepted as universal, basically stating that everything has a cause and nothing appears by itself. Everything in the universe is subject to cause and effect, but whoever created the universe does not necessarily have to: if there was ever a time in the beginning where there was nothing, wouldn’t there still be nothing? Then it’s wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed, causing the existence of everything else. Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill: THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com
@@tracyford9429 You don't see a difference from where we've come from and what we find appealing since the 90's? We went from being respectably dressed seeing skies that are blue to skimpy bling bling talking about your humps, your humps your humps your humps.
At first I didn't get it, then I remembered ''pop'' comes from ''popular''. So basically, this video is the evolution of the most popular music from the 40's to the 2020's
British invasion totally change the music landscape in 60s. Prior to the beatles(UK), most of music are jazz, blues, soul, folk all from USA. The real "pop" born in mid 60s.
*I'm so happy cause everyone is talking about Michael Jackson.....* *He may be gone to heaven but his music is still alive* *King of pop we love ya forever* *Long live the King*
Sadly this kind of list would not represent pop music as a 'history class' - those songs were at the top of the charts BECAUSE they were so different from the bunch.
In some cases it is true though. Nickelback became so big because Chad Kroeger literally tried to write a pop song, and Britney was basically tailor-made to be a star.
this is true, i would also like to add that Get Lucky, Uptown Funk, and Physical are all homages to previous eras of music. as much as all three are great songs, i was disappointed to see them represent how music evolved when those songs are technically devolutions.
Yeah, cause hip hip was a big part of the 1990s and in the 2010s you had taylor swift and lorde and beyonce. But I think it sumarizes music in a surface level that gives some perspective as to how much it's changed.
The reason why 80’s is still played much more than any other decade of the 1900’s is because the 80’s really began the “pop” music culture. With the introduction of MTV and portable music amongst technological advances, The 1980’s was the birth of the standard of what music should be in the future. That’s why today we still hear synth being used in popular songs being released, as well as the use of digital keyboards to replicate other instruments like the drum or the guitar.
It's not because of that. When I was growing up in the '80s and '90s, radio stations would play music from the '60s and '70s like crazy because of the nostalgia factor. It was called oldies. Today, people who lived in the '80s their music get to play the most to appeal to the nostalgia factor. Now it is called classic music, they are too cool to be called oldies. In ten or 15 years, radio stations will play less '80s music and more '90s and 2000s for the same reasons.
I know this isn’t a definitive list by any means, but it’s quite interesting to see the baseline of how music evolved, and seeing songs that were very obviously a turning point (Rock Around the Clock, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Paranoid, Smells Like Teen Spirit, How You Remind Me, Hips Don’t Lie) backed up with the trend it influenced was just really enjoyable. I’ve lived the 2010’s, and seeing it put out like this really puts into perspective how much Pop music has actually changed even in just that time period, honestly.

Interesting video. I like the way you captured the essence of each year. "Pop" music is such a hard thing to pigeon hole these days. There's so much variety that it's hard to measure what people are listening to with just sales or whatever.
The end of the 2010s coincides with a clear musical decline. And it won't get better. Years go by and musical sensibility dies. The current era offers a career to any lambda wanting to get into this industry, at the expense of talent and quality. Far too often.
Singers like Ray Charles are legends never to be forgotten. How many singers in 2021 will be considered legends in another forty years, let alone remember at all. Time is (often) the best indicator of what is quality.
Correction: 80s music was the type of music I listened to when I was young and therefore the type of music I have the most emotional connection to and therefore think is the best
@@scoopityboop I was born in 1993. So my childhood was the 00s music. My parents listened to all sorts. 80s music always resonated with me the most. The songs are timeless, nostalgic. The vocals are real, imperfect due to auto-tune and pitch correction not being as good as it is now.
I’m 14 and I like late 60s-90s blues, blues rock, rock, and metal. I’m trying to listen to more post 2000s pop and hip hop music to diversify my tastes. Having a good mix of everything is nice :)

The 50s was good but I’ve always preferred the 30s to be honest. Other than the 60s that was the last decade where the British bands ruled the music scene.
I mean i, kinda disagree bcs, it started around the era of elvis/beatles and it ended around the 2000 then had a revival in the 2010s then it got stuck in the middle in 2015 to today
One thing that most people must agree on, the old style songs are beautiful (I also think recent songs are good but these, in my opinion, can't be beat)
Adorei a sua seleção musical. Descabelei-me de puro prazer, mas só até a década de 1980, pois afinal de contas eu sou velho. Mesmo assim, sua lista de hit parades está, como se diz aqui no Brasil, simplesmente do balacobaco. Parabéns!
@@addieduran9867 Billie Jean was more sucessfull than thriller. Billie jean stayed on the billbord chart far longer than thriller and was also number 1 on the charts. And its also mj's most sold single. Thriller is mostly remembered for the video.
The songs from the 70s was rough going for someone from the US. What you should have had: 1970: Bridge Over Troubled Waters-Simon and Garfunkle. (Paranoid would only have been heard by the very few people listening to FM hard rock radio. Bridge over troubled waters hit #1 for 6 weeks, was a huge huge hit.) 1971: Imagine-John Lennon. (Good Choice!) 1972: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack, or 1972: Alone Again, Naturally-Gilbert O'Sullivan, or 1972: American Pie-Don McLean (Superstition was really a 1973 hit. 1972 pop music was totally dominated by Roberta Flack and Gilbert O'Sullivan. But all anyone could talk about was American Pie.) 1973: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road-Elton John. (Good choice!) 1974: Love's Theme-Love Unlimited Orchestra/Barry White (Waterloo was just a top 10 song in the US. ABBA was a much bigger international band than in the US. Meanwhile, Barry White was dominating the US charts in the early 70s.) 1975: Love Will Keep Us Together-Captain and Tenille, or 1975: Thank God I'm a Country Boy-John Denver, or 1975: Shining Star-Earth, Wind and Fire (Bohemian Rhapsody hit #1 for 9 weeks in England, and it was a big sensation in the US. But as a pop song it didn't do as well as it did in the rest of the world. Meanwhile, the Captain and Tenille, John Denver, and Earth Wind and Fire totally owned pop music in the mid 70s.) 1976: Silly Love Songs-Wings. (Again, ABBA just wasn't as popular in the States as they were world wide. But Paul and Linda, and whatever form of band they were floating, were HUGE in the 70s. The dominant force of pop music in the 70s.)
It's impossible to talk about pop and R&B music in the 90s and not to mention the spectacular Mariah Carey, that was her decade, she reigned at the top of the charts, was awarded by Billboard best of the decade, best of the millennium, best of the universe...LEGEND!
Jailhouse Rock was not original in 1955. Not only have there always been upbeat 'band music' and jazz songs, but rock and roll had been on the charts for twenty years already by the time Elvis got popular. They called it by different names such as jump blues or race music, but it wasn't at all different in content. One song a year does not give one an accurate idea of which sounds were popular.
1930-1948 Humble beginnings of music 1952-1960 Rising music 1962-1973 Rock, Classic, Country 1975-1981 Peak of Rock 1983-1995 Start of pop 1997-2004 Classic, Country, Rock, Pop, Reggae, R&B, Rap, Acoustic 2006-2015 peak of Pop 2016 downfall of music 2017-present P*rn b*ob ass pop
Pop music is defined as the genre in which is most popular (has the most hits) at a given time. So what we may classify as hip hop or rock today may have been “pop” at one point. Our pop today is more of a techno/electronic with some rap.
I really want funk and rock music back to the top of the charts wich is happening with the band Maneskin and legendary pop and funk artists like Bruno Mars & Anderson Paak but other than that, music today is still absolutely amazing and 2021 is set to be in the record books as one of the best years of music of all time
To truly pay respectful homage to the evolution of pop music, Prince "When Doves Cry" (rare song without bass) should have been included as well as The Weeknd, "Blinding Lights" (as of July 2021, still charting in may countries around the world after 80 weeks). I understand this video list is subjective, but I'm just saying'.
I honestly would never have included Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Europe, Nickelback, Green Day and Queen. They are rock artists, they have nothing to do with Pop (although perhaps Another one bites the dust could be included in the list)
If Green Day and 86's Europe are considered proper rock bands, then other groups in the list should also be considered, like the Beatles. And yeah, those bands you wrote about have to do with pop, as they are not only part of popular music as a whole (rock is a pop music genre, like rap or funk) but most of them have also released some pop (be it poprock, popmetal, poppunk or pshychedelic pop) songs.
@@saviolisboa9343 Really? Then please tell me about a pure pop artist. You know: someone who plays plain pop, neither poprock nor funkpop or dancepop...
Why do most people come up with these bolds claims of 00s and 10s having shit music while the 80s were a god send to humanity just because they grew up around that time
what the fuckkkk!!! I'm 20 and I know so many of these songs that came out so many years before I was born!! LOVED LOVED LOVED the compilation, you really included so many hits!
I'm rather young and I love 60s music and early 10s music!! Shame that garbage rap songs took over music recently, hopefully a future generation revives real pop.
Oh, Black Sabbath... My favorite pop band)))) Upd: *in 3 minutes* Guns n' Roses too)))) Upd2: Nirvana, Green day😮😮😮😮 But what realy stunned me was that 2020's song was not the "blinding lights"
@Kenett Barban 2 It's kind of curious rock fans are the only ones here complaining about that particular genre appearing in the video. Don't see many rap, soul, blues, disco fans writing this kind of comments although those styles actually appear several times. I think that's very telling. Ps: I'm a rock fan myself.
Nice list, I feel like this is more of a list of popular music, than pop which is a genre. I think you you should have included Bille Eilish near the end (eg: Bad Guy for 2019), as she marked the beginning of a new era in pop. Compare Uptown Funk, Despacito, Cheap Thrills - which are all lively, made for you to dance to - but Billie Eilish is more "dry", has almost more emo-esque sound to it, spiralling a new era in pop music. Think the new (2020-1?) version of "I'm good" aka "blue", which also has a drier sound. Not entirely the case tho, because TikTok also marked a pin to pop music. Basically anything that goes viral on TikTok is the "new sensation" that plays everywhere - many pop songs drive away from the drier emo-esque sound. If you were to include non-pop songs, might as well have included WAP for 2020 just for the fun of it.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's, and love 80's music as well, but there are plenty of good songs in every era--as this list shows (alas, every era has its trash as well).
Didn't know Nirvana, Eminem, Led zeppelin, Black sabbath, Guns'n roses was pop.... But of course, above all Michael Jackson is embodiment of real POP music!
Pop is getting so much worse now a days!! I love dua lipa, I think she is one of those consistent singers that WILL carry on bringing decent pop music, but now it’s just drill music which is overfilled with swearing, and doesn’t even have a tune!!
idk, I think there's always been a lot of crap music, you just remember the good stuff, I reckon in 20 years from now everyone will be saying "music was so much better back in the 10's and early 20's"
Billie Eilish? Lady Gaga's new album? Selenas new Spanish pop EP? Charli XCX? And the other indie or underground pop artists? There's lots of nice pop music coming out in this era you just gotta look for it :)
@@Pinkyc0rn332 yeah I know, but I just feel like the drill music is so overpowering and everything, but yes those are the kind of artists I’d listen to
i’m gonna bet somewhere 30-40 years later, there’s going to be a compilation similar to this, and the comments will say “the 2020s were an amazing year for the pop genre” 😆
I agree. Although I like Bill Haley`s music Chuck Berry was a real pioneer of rock and roll. He started in 1955 with Maybellene. We all know Johnny B. Goode, a real classic from 1958. There are so many documentaries about the evolution of rock music. What was the very first rock and roll song? Nobody really knows. But it`s definitely true neither Bill Haley nor Elvis or Chuck Berry or Little Richard really invented rock and roll. We have to go back to the 1930s.

@@richieswar3139 Agreed
@@richieswar3139 To be fair, video and audio quality really spiked during that period.
@@richieswar3139, Grunge shook up Pop music a lot.
The end of the 2010s coincides with a clear musical decline. And it won't get better. Years go by and musical sensibility dies.
The current era offers a career to any lambda wanting to get into this industry, at the expense of talent and quality. Far too often.
Last few years have been better. Otherwise early mid 60s to very early 80s was the best period. 90s was somewhat alright some of the time.
Singers like Ray Charles are legends never to be forgotten. How many singers in 2021 will be considered legends in another forty years, let alone remember at all. Time is (often) the best indicator of what is quality.

80s were undeniably the best decade for pop music.
Correction: 80s music was the type of music I listened to when I was young and therefore the type of music I have the most emotional connection to and therefore think is the best
@@scoopityboop I was born in 1993. So my childhood was the 00s music. My parents listened to all sorts. 80s music always resonated with me the most. The songs are timeless, nostalgic. The vocals are real, imperfect due to auto-tune and pitch correction not being as good as it is now.

Maybe for you
Agreed. Back when it took talent instead of technology to make music, back when music made you wanna get up and dance. Absolutely timeless.
The 50s was good but I’ve always preferred the 30s to be honest. Other than the 60s that was the last decade where the British bands ruled the music scene.

Thanks much for this post,My mothers time, and likely musical interest ,1940 to 1950 ❤ revisited 14 june 2024❤❤❤
ABBA forever! The GODS of Pop.
For every "Dancing Queen," they also gifted us a "Super Trooper." Not the gods of pop. . . .
The golden age of pop music happened between the mid-1960s through the early-1970s.
You know what you're talking about
100% disagree.
I-... Ok all I'm gonna say is I respect your opinion.
I mean i, kinda disagree bcs, it started around the era of elvis/beatles and it ended around the 2000 then had a revival in the 2010s then it got stuck in the middle in 2015 to today
true but the 80’s were good
I am kinda surprised how there is not a single Taylor Swift or One direction song.
IKR
Yet Physical is here which is not even the most popular song by dua lipa, 2020 should have been blinding lights.
@@digantatalukdar668 yep, Blinding Lights is a legendary song

In Europe Taylor Swift is hardly known and we don't care lol

One thing that most people must agree on, the old style songs are beautiful (I also think recent songs are good but these, in my opinion, can't be beat)
I miss ROCK'N'ROLL all the pop songs today sound the same...
100% agree, imo pop music lost the little soul it had left in 2016 and that 's being generous.

The songs from the 70s was rough going for someone from the US. What you should have had:
1970: Bridge Over Troubled Waters-Simon and Garfunkle.
(Paranoid would only have been heard by the very few people listening to FM hard rock radio. Bridge over troubled waters hit #1 for 6 weeks, was a huge huge hit.)
1971: Imagine-John Lennon. (Good Choice!)
1972: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack, or
1972: Alone Again, Naturally-Gilbert O'Sullivan, or
1972: American Pie-Don McLean
(Superstition was really a 1973 hit. 1972 pop music was totally dominated by Roberta Flack and Gilbert O'Sullivan. But all anyone could talk about was American Pie.)
1973: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road-Elton John. (Good choice!)
1974: Love's Theme-Love Unlimited Orchestra/Barry White
(Waterloo was just a top 10 song in the US. ABBA was a much bigger international band than in the US. Meanwhile, Barry White was dominating the US charts in the early 70s.)
1975: Love Will Keep Us Together-Captain and Tenille, or
1975: Thank God I'm a Country Boy-John Denver, or
1975: Shining Star-Earth, Wind and Fire
(Bohemian Rhapsody hit #1 for 9 weeks in England, and it was a big sensation in the US. But as a pop song it didn't do as well as it did in the rest of the world. Meanwhile, the Captain and Tenille, John Denver, and Earth Wind and Fire totally owned pop music in the mid 70s.)
1976: Silly Love Songs-Wings.
(Again, ABBA just wasn't as popular in the States as they were world wide. But Paul and Linda, and whatever form of band they were floating, were HUGE in the 70s. The dominant force of pop music in the 70s.)
Where is Off The Wall album?
30s and 40s are my favourite decades of music. Love swing/big band!
For 2021: save your tears
yeaahh
the remix too. and why was 2020 physical? not even Don’t Start Now or Break my Heart 💀
Yass
And we're good plus levitating with dababy
It's impossible to talk about pop and R&B music in the 90s and not to mention the spectacular Mariah Carey, that was her decade, she reigned at the top of the charts, was awarded by Billboard best of the decade, best of the millennium, best of the universe...LEGEND!
Yeah I feel like they really snubbed mariah
Okay, I don't know what happened in 1955, but that switch up from the easy listening slow music to Jailhouse Rock defined how modern music is today
Yeah. Noone here has mentioned that. You can easily notice the differenc and changes between the eras. Good observation.
Jailhouse Rock was not original in 1955. Not only have there always been upbeat 'band music' and jazz songs, but rock and roll had been on the charts for twenty years already by the time Elvis got popular. They called it by different names such as jump blues or race music, but it wasn't at all different in content. One song a year does not give one an accurate idea of which sounds were popular.
1930-1948 Humble beginnings of music
1952-1960 Rising music
1962-1973 Rock, Classic, Country
1975-1981 Peak of Rock
1983-1995 Start of pop
1997-2004 Classic, Country, Rock, Pop, Reggae, R&B, Rap, Acoustic

Pop music is defined as the genre in which is most popular (has the most hits) at a given time. So what we may classify as hip hop or rock today may have been “pop” at one point. Our pop today is more of a techno/electronic with some rap.
that's one definition but the more important definition describes a style of music that is Euro centered , concise and up beat in tone

I really want funk and rock music back to the top of the charts wich is happening with the band Maneskin and legendary pop and funk artists like Bruno Mars & Anderson Paak but other than that, music today is still absolutely amazing and 2021 is set to be in the record books as one of the best years of music of all time

Madonna is a Queen of pop, god save the queen
Yup, 95 is right around the time I didn't care for "popular" music anymore, just alternative and rock at the point.
To truly pay respectful homage to the evolution of pop music, Prince "When Doves Cry" (rare song without bass) should have been included as well as The Weeknd, "Blinding Lights" (as of July 2021, still charting in may countries around the world after 80 weeks). I understand this video list is subjective, but I'm just saying'.
I honestly would never have included Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Europe, Nickelback, Green Day and Queen.
They are rock artists, they have nothing to do with Pop (although perhaps Another one bites the dust could be included in the list)
Many said: pop = popular
But I don't think, pop is really a music genre, like rap and rock
If Green Day and 86's Europe are considered proper rock bands, then other groups in the list should also be considered, like the Beatles. And yeah, those bands you wrote about have to do with pop, as they are not only part of popular music as a whole (rock is a pop music genre, like rap or funk) but most of them have also released some pop (be it poprock, popmetal, poppunk or pshychedelic pop) songs.
@@saviolisboa9343 Really? Then please tell me about a pure pop artist. You know: someone who plays plain pop, neither poprock nor funkpop or dancepop...
Why do most people come up with these bolds claims of 00s and 10s having shit music while the 80s were a god send to humanity just because they grew up around that time
The 2010’s were nostalgic for me. The 40’s-60’s were my favorite. 70’s and 80’s had a ton of great ones sprinkled in there. That’s my rating ig
I MISS QUEEN SO MUCH 💔
Please tell me I'm not the only person who cried their eyes out for absolute no reason while watching this.
what the fuckkkk!!! I'm 20 and I know so many of these songs that came out so many years before I was born!! LOVED LOVED LOVED the compilation, you really included so many hits!

I see Dua on the thumbnail, I click
1983 and 1988 the best ones
1975, 1980 and 1989
This list lost it’s credibility when the Stones showed up.
They’re Rock...not Pop
Black Sabbath is Metal...not Pop
Stevie Wonder is Soul...not Pop
In this case, pop means popular and I've put all those different genres to show how the popular sounds evolved.

But what realy stunned me was that 2020's song was not the "blinding lights"
@Kenett Barban 2 It's kind of curious rock fans are the only ones here complaining about that particular genre appearing in the video. Don't see many rap, soul, blues, disco fans writing this kind of comments although those styles actually appear several times. I think that's very telling. Ps: I'm a rock fan myself.
I like to think that sometime in the past, Heavy Metal was considered pop
Nice list, I feel like this is more of a list of popular music, than pop which is a genre. I think you you should have included Bille Eilish near the end (eg: Bad Guy for 2019), as she marked the beginning of a new era in pop. Compare Uptown Funk, Despacito, Cheap Thrills - which are all lively, made for you to dance to - but Billie Eilish is more "dry", has almost more emo-esque sound to it, spiralling a new era in pop music. Think the new (2020-1?) version of "I'm good" aka "blue", which also has a drier sound. Not entirely the case tho, because TikTok also marked a pin to pop music. Basically anything that goes viral on TikTok is the "new sensation" that plays everywhere - many pop songs drive away from the drier emo-esque sound. If you were to include non-pop songs, might as well have included WAP for 2020 just for the fun of it.
Despacito in 2017 is just a pain in the ass.
Lol
It's annoying but still a very well written song
@Pizza Man Ugh, here we go. I used to feel the same way as you ironically.

OK, around 1995, the evolution became a devolution that is still going on.
Should have had at least one Frank Sinatra song. Chuck Berry too. Both were so influential.
I agree. Although I like Bill Haley`s music Chuck Berry was a real pioneer of rock and roll. He started in 1955 with Maybellene. We all know Johnny B. Goode, a real classic from 1958. There are so many documentaries about the evolution of rock music. What was the very first rock and roll song? Nobody really knows. But it`s definitely true neither Bill Haley nor Elvis or Chuck Berry or Little Richard really invented rock and roll. We have to go back to the 1930s.
....pop as popular music as a term has been used since the 20's and it's only been distinguished as a musical genre in the mid 60's
